The CAT Club in association with Route Publishing presents a long playing vinyl record . . .

BOB DYLAN – BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME

Bob Dylan’s fifth album Bringing It All Back Home was released in March 1965. The introduction of electric guitar into his sound set off a wave of controversy that came symbolically crashing down at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester fourteen months later when some wag shouted ‘Judas!’

Ian Clayton, author of the bestselling memoir Bringing It All Back Home, was in a fascinating conversation with Ian Daley of Route publishing, who have re-issued CP Lee’s classic book, Like The Night to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the legendary concert.

This event took place on 14th May 2026 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

The CAT Club presents An Appreciation of

THE PRETTY THINGS

With special guest, former band member
WALLY WALLER

The Pretty Things hold a unique place in the history of British rock. Formed in the early sixties from the same London R&B scene that produced The Rolling Stones, they began as one of the rawest and most uncompromising groups before evolving into one of its most adventurous.

Over the course of the decade they helped chart the journey from beat group to album-led experimentation, pushing British rock into darker and more ambitious territory.

Their later work produced some of the period’s most forward-thinking records, including S.F. Sorrow, widely recognised as the first rock opera, and Parachute, now seen as a defining statement of the era. Though rarely rewarded with sustained commercial success, The Pretty Things became a touchstone for musicians drawn to innovation over conformity.

Wally Waller joined the band during this crucial creative period and became a central figure in their development as bassist, singer, songwriter and later producer. His work with The Pretty Things and beyond placed him at the heart of a remarkable era of British music making.

Jason Barnard was in the interviewer’s chair. Another first class interview from JB which aided and abetted by many hours of research by his good self.

A splendid time was had by all.

This event took place on 30th April 2026 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

“After doing numerous promotional podcasts and interviews discussing my musical career as it hits 50 years since my first album was released, being onstage at the CAT Club in Pontefract in front of a full house of delightful folks has been the absolute highlight of the entire experience.

The dedication of the people who run the venue is beyond impressive - you can feel the love they put into every aspect at every moment.

Thanks to Rev, Jason, Drey, Lee, Liz, Amanda and everyone at The CAT Club – I give it 10 stars out of 5!’’ GRAHAM PARKER
